If you’re going to spend $40k-$42k on a DLP projector, you want to know it can deliver the visual goods. Happily, according to Electronic House, the SIM2 Grand Cinema CX3 Lumis HOST system does just that; the two-piece Full HD projector produced “viewing splendor”.
Obviously there’ve been more than a few improvements on the Sim2 C3X 1080P 3 Chips DLP from our last coverage. The Grand Cinema has since increased to a better equipped Sim2 with greater than 35k to 1 contrast and 3000 Ansi lumens. But the train doesn’t stop there; the manufacture has expanded its Grand Cinema series C3X with a proprietary, three-line optical-digital High-Definition Optical Signal Transfer (H.O.S.T.) outboard system, to enable a lengthy connection between the units over distances up to 750 feet.
A home projector for under $5,000 wouldn’t usually be groundbreaking news, but when it comes with a SIM2 logo you’ll see enthusiasts interest perking up. Known for their behemoth DLP projectors, which can tip the scales at $30,000, the company has a reputation for incredible image quality. Now the new Domino D60, capable of 1080p, takes the place as one of the company’s entry-level options, with SIM2 promising video better than projectors with 10,000:1 contrast ratios.
